Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2018172275A1] The present invention relates to an adjustable steering column (1) for a motor vehicle, comprising a actuating unit (2), in which a steering shaft (22) is mounted to rotate about a longitudinal axis (L), and a support unit (3), which has two downwardly projecting lateral cheeks (33, 34) that are opposite each other transverse to the longitudinal axis (L), between which lateral cheeks the actuating unit (2) is arranged to be displaced in the vertical direction (H), wherein a motorised adjustment drive (7) has an adjusting lever (5) that is pivotally mounted in an articulation (6) on the actuating unit (2) and on the support unit (3) about a pivot axis (61) extending transverse to the longitudinal axis (L), wherein at least one articulation (6) has a joint pin (64) that is mounted in a bearing bore (51) of the adjusting lever (5). To achieve a higher stiffness and natural frequency at low additional effort, the invention proposes that at least one joint pin (64) has a support element (8) that is supported in a sliding manner between the actuating unit (2) and a lateral cheek (33, 34).
